While contemplating the Fennel of Failure for my new book, “Management Vegetables” (nearly ready!) I was thinking about how the six causes of failure in life might relate to personality type…
Stemming from Lack of Self Esteem and Lack of Goals, these are the six causes:
- Fearfulness leading to lack of courage when needed, and lack of assertiveness generally
- Erratic – Lack of organisation leading to lack of planning and inefficient use of time
- Negative thinking leading to living in the past or future, focus on negative events, and failure to take responsibility
- Neglect of self and skills – resistance to advice, learning and change, leading to lack of self development which leads to to lack of skills and therefore poor performance
- Ego: Selfishness and lack of self awareness leading to poor people skills rather than teamwork
- Lack of self discipline leading to laziness leading to lack of effort and persistence
and here is how they fit in with the four types of people, the four combinations of introvert/extrovert and head vs heart / logic vs feelings.
onwards and not downwards…..
